. an A -: 1 iv N 0 N QM T 4 V lr- uw? .f fl H '.x-A-,L :ht vf ' I 5 Y1?,5f-,e- ff t The now well established Sophomore Class had a very successful year. This class of '46 is the largest of the school, having almostrone hundred members. In spite of its size, this class was well organized and worked as well in a body as in small groups. Mr. Rank, our fo1'mer class sponsor, was in- ducted into the Army in November, anti to fill his place, we were very fortunate to obtain Mrs. Har- ris, the new English teacher. She has proved to be very helpful especially in our dramatic ventures. Our class officers for the year were Walter Berg, president, Mary Emma Conway, vice-presidentg Bill Downing, secretary, and Betty Hansen, treasurer. Our representatives to the stundent council were Jeanne Roese, Ralph Rose, and Lionel Ebaugh. These were our administrators. In sports we were well represented. In football Jack Hendry, Luther Mattox, Sam Conway, Jack Rickart, Carl Hendricks, Ralph Rose, and Lionel Ebaugh gained valuable experience. John Black and Mas. HARRIS Sophomore Sponsor JM! War 7 Dick Beitel were managers and deserve much credit for their far from glorified work. Un the basket- ball court the sophomores were likewise prevalent, 1.5111 Hansen, Jim Richiemer, Walter Berg, Raip.. llose, Dick Beitel, and Dick Ingraham were on the squad. These boys will be a major factor in deter- mining Avonworth's athletic future. At the football games and in all parades, our pretty drum majorette, Ella Mae Powell, high stepped with unusual grace and greatly enhanced the band's performance. In the orchestra, Janet Robinson, Alice Ann Bain, Jane Siegle, Virginia Delanzo, Alberta Stringert, Mary Emma Conway, Dorothy Blazar, and Barbara Coppes demonstrated their talents. We became an outstanding group in our chapel activities. Our class, together with the Freshman, presented a most unique program this year. Bill Hansen was master of ceremonies and Ann Hearl and Nancy Fisher gave monologues. Ella Mae Powell and Jean Autenreith danced. There was a quartet and several other variety numbers. Then later in the year the Sophomore Speech Class again appeared before the student body. There were mono' logues by Marjorie Homan, Nancy Fisher and Ann Hearl and skits with Jeanne Roese, Janet Robinson, and Dick Ingraham, and Ella Mae Powell and Bill Downing. The program was climaxed with a one- act play entitled Triumph in Ashes. This was exceedingly well done. The girls in our class are extremely active in both music and sports. More than a third of the girls oi the Girl's Glee Club were sophomores. In sports th. girls were active and many received letters for their participation in the Girl's Sports Club. Ann Hearl was president of the club. Many sophomores were active in Girl Reserves and next year's vice-presi- dent is Ann Hershey. A very successful skating party was sponsored bf' the sophomores at West View Park rink. Many stu- dents agreed, on returning, that such parties shou. be held more often. With these activities and experiences behind us, we have much ammunition for the future. Our next two years should prove eventful and successful.
